22 PRENTON LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 22 PRENTON LANE sales from May 2001 and October 2015 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the May 2001 sale was for 118% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 118% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might 22 PRENTON LANE be worth now?

The 48.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 PRENTON LANE of £400,000 on 19th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £592,635 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
